To Solve Children's School Things First

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un said:

"True to the intentions of Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il who treasured and loved the rising generations and the future, we should bring them up into excellent people and make them the happiest in the world."

There are a lot of touching stories which tell the noble love of the Workers' Party of Korea for the rising generations which is matchless with all the love and affection in the world.

The benevolent fatherly love of the President Kim Il Sung who treated the children as the king of the country and devoted his all to them can be known through the heartfelt story of his efforts to solve the issue of school things, keeping it deep in his mind.

One day, only two months after the ceasefire of the Fatherland Liberation War, the President visited a factory producing paper, though he was busy with dealing with all the manifold issues of the country.

At that time there were more factories which had stopped working than the ones operating and electricity, coal, steel, machinery, cement and bricks were needed everywhere. And the most urgent things were food and daily necessities for the people. It was in these situations that the President, in order to solve the children's notebook problem, visited this factory which was not widely known.

When the President dropped in at the paper mill shop, he stopped in front of the paper-making machine and watched the roll winding the paper constantly. Then, he expressed his great satisfaction, saying that they had already started producing paper.

Looking around at the officials, the President appreciated their hard work and said with a smile on his face that he was very pleased to see the operating machines and produced paper.

Only when he told to make the children's notebooks with this paper, did the officials came to realize why the President visited the factory through a long and rugged way when there were many important matters to deal with and why he was so pleased with the small success of the factory.

In the days of the hard-fought war, he took measures to transport children's notebooks on the trucks which were supposed to transport bullets and shells by minute. And on his way to the front, he once opened a child's satchel in person and finding that the child had written on the edge of the book in tiny letter since there was no more space to write on his old notebook, he felt heartbroken and kept standing there for a long time with the notebook in his hand.

Looking up to the President who had made a long and thorny road to satisfy the need of the children's notebooks leaving all the important affairs of the country till later on, the officials shouted to themselves.

"Indeed, the President is the father of all the children of the country!"
